The Cottage at Eleven09--A Fine Guest Experience in Historic Abilene
Enjoy the comfort of Eleven09, a curated historic cottage replete with vintage whimsy, situated in the heart of The Storybook Capital of Texas!
Eleven09 is centrally located near Downtown Abilene, McMurry University, Hardin-Simmons University, and Abilene Christian University. Our family friendly haven will envelop you with inviting warmth the moment you walk through the door.
The Cottage at Eleven09 property can accommodate a maximum of 8 guests. The Cottage is all on one floor and sleeps up to 8 in a comfortable master bedroom with king bed and ensuite bath featuring a walk-in shower, a bedroom with two twin beds, and a queen bedroom that share a full hall bathroom. Two more guests can be accommodated on the new living room queen size sofa bed with memory foam topper. The Cottage at Eleven09 also has a fully equipped kitchen, a dining room with seating for 6 plus an extra table available for seating an additional 6 guests, a washer/dryer, quality bed and bath linens, WIFI, and Smart TVs with live local and cable channels in all bedrooms, living room and back patio.
In the back garden, you can spend a lovely evening sipping a glass of wine or roasting marshmallows by the fire pit. There are plenty of tables and chairs for all guests to enjoy a meal alfresco. You’ll even find a swing in the corner of our cottage garden to daydream away your afternoon.
Abilene is full of kind, welcoming people. We live nearby and are available at a moment’s notice should a need arise. If you would like assistance with a reservation to the James Beard award-winning Perini Ranch Steakhouse (a must-do!), let us know. We would be happy to fill you in on the top rated local sites (which are all just a hop, skip and jump away) such as The Abilene Zoo, Frontier Texas!, The Grace Museum and The National Center for Children’s Illustrated Literature. We can also connect you with our local partners who provide tours, catering and other services.
